Chapter 606: Snake Mouth, Honey Sword
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Boom!
The huge rolling stone roared and fell into the bottomless abyss under the broken bridge in front of Phantasmal Shadow and her party . Its astonishing momentum made them break out in cold sweat, even though they had been previously delighted because their loot was great .
From the rumbling sounds of the rolling stone, they could tell that it should have been rolling for a rather long period of time . Soon after, the sound of a second rolling rose rose from the tunnel again! For a period of time, the six looked at each other at a loss . They were frozen in place and did not know what they should do .
They sent the person with the fastest speed to scout ahead .
However, wherever he passed, he only saw walls that were as smooth as jade, a tunnel that inclined upward, and no place to hide . In less than half a minute, he was forced to run back by a huge rolling stone .
His act of running back and forth wasted more than ten minutes, and the frequency of the rolling stones finally slowed down .
“Looks like we’ll be falling behind Mu Clan this time . ” Phantasmal Shadow could not help but lament .
Even though they had gained quite a lot of loot from the beast puppets in the front hall, she could vaguely guess that the most important quest should still be inside . What they gained just then were only stepping stones to success .
“They slowed down! Move inside!”
Phantasmal Shadow’s party seized the chance and hurried inside . They soon found the spot where All-powerful Medicinal Stone and the others previously were, but the harsh terrain still made them feel dejected . They rushed too far before they started allocating people to avoid the rolling stones, and Phantasmal Shadow was forced to turn back and avoid the first pit, which was incredibly dangerous .
“The frequency of rolling stones is increasing . Everyone, be careful . Move forward in order, don’t mess it up!”
Phantasmal Shadow waited for the rolling stone to pass before she quickly got out . She had the people space themselves before they continued pushing forward .

She also finally understood why they had missed the shallow pits on the floors and walls while they were still outside . Happy and the others had probably used them to slowly push forward .

Once Happy’s party passed the rolling stone trap, they entered a cave with stalactites and pools of water inside . The rolling stones behind them were still rolling down nonstop, but they were traveling further away from them, and they were temporarily safe .
However, the traps in Sky Demon Secret Cave could kill without sound . They had already experienced that, which was why they were as wary as ever . They did not dare to lower their guard even the slightest bit .
They stopped for a while and gradually got used to the dark environment in the heart of the mountain . Then, with All-powerful Medicinal Stone and Happy still taking the lead, they moved forward .
“There doesn’t seem to be any traps here anymore, but we should be inside Sky Demon Secret Cave now . Everyone, be on guard—”
Before All-powerful Medicinal Stone could finish speaking, he heard wind blowing above his head . A shining sword was already very close to his skull when he reacted to it, but Happy was just in time to flick it away .
“Damn it!”
“Snakes!”
It was only then that the party realized what was it that Happy had flicked away . It was a snake that was entirely black and blended perfectly with its environment and the stalactites . Its tongue was a sharp longsword, and when it hissed, the blade shone brilliantly .
“It’s a mechanical snake . ”
“Huh? Why isn’t it moving?” Wind Chimes cut at it with a sound blade, but only metallic sounds came from it .
All-powerful Medicinal Stone quickly stopped Wind Chimes and Momo from madly destroying the small snake . He moved near the culprit of the incident and scooped it up without any fear .
“Honey Mouth Sword Stomach Snake . It’s a rather high-class mechanic puppet, but it’s different from the normal ones . They’re unique assassination puppets . Their ability to stay hidden is astonishing, and their offensive power is shocking, but once they’re exposed, it’s very hard for them to continue functioning . That’s why they only have the power to attack once or twice . ”

He stopped talking for a moment, then continued in a tone that said that he felt very lucky at that moment . “It might only be able to attack once or twice, but it can easily kill a Moksha Realm elite, and its attacks cannot be defended against by using normal methods . I’m lucky that Happy noticed it in time and blocked it for me, or else, I would have already turned into a corpse . ”
“It’s that strong?”
Little North felt chills go down his spine . He looked around and felt incredibly wary .
Wind Chimes and Momo instantly felt their hair rise .
“Why did you take it?”
“Happy managed to cripple it with a finger strike, so its core shouldn’t be damaged . I’m going to see if I can make it work . This puppet is rather rare, and it can have amazing effects during night . ”
All-powerful Medicinal Stone carefully put away that Honey Mouth Sword Stomach Snake into his Universe Bag .
“Everyone, be careful, there might be more of these Honey Mouth Sword Stomach Snakes in the area . ”
After Happy said that, Little North suddenly summoned his three precious zombie puppets . They walked forward in an imposing manner while holding torches, and just as expected, sword glares appeared repeatedly . Honey Mouth Sword Stomach Snakes pounced on the zombie puppets like moths to a flame .
But unfortunately for them, the zombies were not afraid of normal attacks . They only needed to protect their heads, and they were going to be fine . Soon, All-powerful Medicinal Stone happily rushed after them and collected more than ten Honey Mouth Sword Stomach Snakes . He was so happy he could not stop grinning .
The six then fearfully passed through the heart of the mountain, but did not run into any more danger .
Braziers appeared ahead of them, and the place became bright, so Little North had his zombie puppets extinguish their torches .
“Why are there only kids here?”
The six hid in the dark while examining more than ten children who were as beautiful as statues gathered together in the square-shaped cave .
Behind the children was an old monk who looked like a maitreya . He had a hilariously bloated stomach while he slept in a corner and was dressed in the robes of an evil cult disciple .
“What’s going on?”
“Why are there so many kids around?”
Wind Chimes and Momo looked over the children who were in front of them . Their faces were so exquisite that they felt like pinching their pink cheeks, and their limbs were very tiny .
Puzzled by that, the girls mumbled to each other .
However, they did not notice that while they were fearlessly sizing up the children from the shadows, the children had risen up slightly . Some of them seized the chance to cheekily adjust their posture . They looked as if they were about to doze off while sitting .
“Those kids are no simple characters . ” Silver Wolf guessed the children’s identity after one glance their way . “Their real age shouldn’t be what it seems . By the looks of it, they are at the peak of Moksha Realm . ”
“No way . ” The girls could not believe him .
Happy also spoke up . “This is Sky Demon Secret Cave, the secret training place and main camp of Sky Demon Sect to increase their strength . These kids are definitely no simple characters . Let’s not talk anymore . We already exposed ourselves . We’ll know once we go up . ”
Once he finished speaking, he charged toward the seemingly harmless children without bothering to hide himself .
“Ah!”
A piercing young voice broke the silence in the cave . The children were all shocked awake and seemed to have been scared witless . They widened their eyes and clenched their fists as they stared at Happy with a dumbfounded expression .
Happy frowned . ‘These damn NPCs . They’re really not easy to deal with . Such good actors… If I didn’t have memories from my previous life, I might really not be able to clench my teeth and attack them . ’
The children seemed to have noticed Happy’s killing intent, and when he showed up in front of them, their childish and pure expressions disappeared, replaced by savage and fierce faces . Shining whip swords were drawn from their waists, and with a flick of the wrist, they were straightened . There were as many swords as trees in a forest when they attacked Happy .
“Liars!” Wind Chimes shouted in anger . Then, sound blades came at them like waves from every direction . Her murderous presence was unprecedentedly strong!
The children of the evil cult had offended a terrifying woman .

The Trespasser
Synopsis Following his di—instincts, David finds himself in a weird situation; the next thing he knows, he's in a different world, dying, and manhandled by a big-ass alien. When the Source comes to his aid, granting him the access that—like every other sapient—he's due, David barely manages to get out of the fight with his life intact, but is that enough? Of course it isn't. The very Source giving him powers is also poisoning him to death. Oh, there she is, the petite female alien. Will that be enough to save him? Of course it won't. If he wants to be saved, he has first to save himself. The only way to do so is by getting to know the world around him, but even before that... Why the bloody hell did I have to be called Deviant!? *** Blurb? Blurb. The Trespasser starts slowly, I believe I've written a decent world, and I want you to find out what it's all about, won't just throw it in your face because of *levels*. I do not like stories that don't make sense. David is not a murderhobo, he respects life and answers to the world and the weird situations thrown at him with irony and sarcasm; so you are looking for easy killing streaks, you will not find them here. So, a man finds himself into the wild? It's a different world, and yet he can breathe its air? Finds himself in a lucky-low-level zone? Oh, look at that, people speak English—how likely is that? So, nope, not for me, gentleman. You won't find anything of the likes here. Again, a man finds himself in a new world but only thinks about the system? Yeah, that's not exactly how it works. David will try to find out what it's really all about, what the aliens want, how they work, why is that Fay really helping him? You can kill somebody to get levels, and yet there is not even a form of police? Not gonna happen here. Man becomes suddenly overpowered in a world where people can live for thousands of years by having enough luck to face only lower-level people? Hahaha—nope. Lastly...Spaceships and fantasy with LitRPG... say what!? Well, what's wrong with that? Let's make it happen, shall we? *** You want even more info? Really? Alright... David will start from the very bottom of the food chain, so there will be a settling arc—it's inevitable. David will find true companions, with personalities and backstories, and they will have a life of their own. There will be enemies, and those enemies will have a life of their own, too; there will be no evil just because. The world-building will have true depth; it will not exist just because the protagonist visits it. There will be both Fantasy and (Soft) Sci-fi—yeah, you heard that right. There will be rationality to every action taken, as long as the characters are aware of what is going on. There will be a godly system. You will come to read because of the world-building, but you will stay for the characters. The dead stay dead, and you will weep for them. There will be no action without a reaction. Lastly, there will be laughs. Are you still up for it? Then get in but fasten your seatbelts because it's going to be a wild ride. *** Release Days: Twice a week Release Time: ~09:00 PM UTC Words per chapter: ~3000 This web novel is also available on other platforms.

The Plant Dungeon
I wrote this a while ago at my website. It is a mix of cultivation/dungeon with a few LitRPG themes, but not enough to justify the tag. I am migrating it here, so I don't have to keep paying WordPress for the site. I will continue writing this. So... Now for the synopsis. Follow the life of an unusual adventurer who got turned into a dungeon. Well... that was short. I guess I would just suggest reading the first few chapters to see how you like it. (remember, if enough people ask for it, I will continue writing it.) I have no Idea who owns the picture I used for the cover. If you want it down PM me and I'll take it down.
